2026 is the year I choose my peace intentionally, unapologetically, and without guilt.
For too long, I’ve given people my time, my energy, my attention, and my care, only to receive silence in return. Ghosting. Inconsistent communication. Conversations that only existed when someone was bored, lonely, or had nothing better to do. And for a long time, I told myself that was okay. That I was being understanding. That I was being kind.
But kindness should never require self-abandonment.
The Cost of Giving Everything
When you give too much to people who give you very little, the cost is always paid by you. It shows up as overthinking, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet question of “Why am I not enough to be chosen consistently?”
The truth is it was never about not being enough.
It was about accepting less than I deserved.
I confused potential with reality. I held onto connections that felt good sometimes, instead of asking whether they felt good most of the time. I allowed inconsistency to feel normal. I made excuses for people who wouldn’t show up, wouldn’t communicate, and wouldn’t choose me unless it was convenient.
That ends now.
. I also had to start all over again because my old site backups were corrupted. I’m glad to be back though. I been on social media on and off but I want to change that. I’m only going to be using X (Twitter) or Instagram. I only keep Facebook for people I know.
